[Jacob-list] out of?

[Linda Bjarkman]

I've been busily looking over new lamb pages and sale pages in anticipation of 
adding some new stock here.

I'm kinda curious about the terms "out of" and "by".  I raised AQHA registered 
Quarter Horses for a number of years and the term "out of" always referred to the 
dam, as in, well, out of - pretty self explanatory.  The term "by" referred to the 
sire as in "sired by."  

I see a lot of sheep listed as "out of" the sire.  Is this a sheep thing?  Or am I 
totally behind the times (quite possible!)
